Mission 1, Day 17: Setting goals

November 12, 2007 By Michael Mahony Leave a Comment

I spent alot of time driving again today and I came up with a plan for my goals.  I am not really sure if my goals are achieveable and I'd like to get everyone's opinions on my goals.

Ultimately, I want to reach 200 lbs of LBM and 13% body fat by the end of my 100 day mission.  I have set up the following plan to achieve this:

Date   11/17  11/24  12/1 12/8   12/15  12/22  12/29  1/5  1/12  1/19  1/26  2/3
 Lbs.  234 232  231  231  230  229  228  227  228  229  230  230 
 LBM  190.71 190.24  190.58  191.73  192.05  192.36  192.66  192.95  194.94  196.94  198.95  200 
 BF %  18.5 18.0  17.5  17.0  16.5  16.0  15.5  15.0  14.5  14.0  13.5  13.0 

I know it is possible to drop 0.5% body fat each weeek.  That doesn't worry me that much.  What I'm concerned about is my LBM goal.  Am I going to have to sacrifice some LBM to get to the body fat percentage I want?  What do you all think?

Saturday and Sunday were my first two “double cardio” days.  I'm focusing on the intervals.  I am going to take Tom Venuto's advice and not do intervals every day.  I will do intervals on the days I don't lift weights and will do steady cardio on the days I do lift weights.  I have two issues that I need to pay attention to:  (1) fat loss; (2) increasing LBM.  I am aware that those are pretty exclusive issues.  You either cut or you bulk, but you can't easily do both together.

During my long drive today I also came up with a plan for an eBook.  I can't talk too much about it, but something Christy said in a comment got me thinking about the idea.  I've spent some time thinking about my target audience and a problem they have that I can address.  Now I have to decide how I am going to approach the topic I have in mind.

Tomorrow I will go back and post the pictures for each of the past 3 days.  I would do it tonight, but the driving has me exhausted and I don't want to take the time.  I plan to go to bed very soon.

Until tomorrow…
